Notes

'Rosa' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Rosa') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. Its large, dark Tyrian pink flowers have a Japanese form and open mid season. The plant stays medium size and compact. George Hollis bred it in 1910.

Pairs well with Brown-eyed Susan, Black Hero tulip, and Sedge.
